The day of my wedding left me speechless in so many ways. The room was decorated exactly as I imagined it in my head. The attention to detail that was given for our special day was second to none. Now onto the FOOD! I’ve never seen so many people ask for doggie bags to take home their left overs. Our appetizers were amazing. I’m glad I got to sample a little of everything to taste how amazing it was. Our main course, salads, sorbet and the baked Alaska were out of this world. Our guests were raving about the food. Everything was cooked to perfection including our filets! My favorite was the late night stations. We have chicken fingers, fries and sliders. We ran out of to go containers! The day was perfect and We couldn’t have asked for anything better! We highly recommend Samuel’s Grande Manor!
